用英語學英語口語：homebody 宅男/女
想從homebody一詞上獲得英語能力的提高，或者想學習homebody這個詞，不是這麼學的：先用中文知道homebody的中文意思是“宅男/宅女”，然後舉一兩個還是帶有中文翻譯的例句說說怎麼把homebody用在句子當中。然後就讓你“產生一種感覺”：我“學到”homebody這個英語詞了，也“會用”homebody這個詞了。
其實，這只是“用中文學英語”的一個過程，跟真正的提高自己英語使用能力還是有一定差距，有一定差別，我們意識不到而已。
我們不僅要有“用中文學”的過程，我們更要有“用英語用”的環節，是“用英語用”最終決定我們的某個學習給我們的學習英語的使用能力帶來提高。
學習homebody(其實學習任何其它一個英語詞句亦然)，必須是一個“用英語”形成一個英語表達“微話題”的局面：你以後是要直接用英語跟人交談homebody這個“話題”的，而不是用中文“使用這個單詞”，更不是用中文“把這個單詞用在句子當中”。
記住：能圍繞某個單詞展開學習，現在就能直接用英語形成、積累和沉澱一個將來能直接用得上的“微話題”，才是你學習英語能力的體現，是用英語學習英語的終極目標。
一個人英語學習漫長的過程中，給人感覺似乎要學的東西很多，眼前能“提高”自己英語的方方法法讓人眼花繚亂，兩隻手抓都抓不過來，根本不夠用，今天抓這個明天抓那個，還傻傻分不清。
其實，你只需要堅持“我只取一瓢”：強迫自己用英語學英語，其它所有的，皆儘可以“放棄”。
1) URead 體驗英語：
下面的英語不是用來給你做英語翻譯成中文然後理解了英文什麼意思用的，是用來給你做“用英語說英語”用的。
Are you a homebody?
If you answer Yes to the following questions, yes, you are：
1. Do you enjoy the warmth and simple pleasures of being at home, and don't want to go out?
2. Do you order delivery WAY too many times at home?
3. Do you look forward to rainy weekends because you can watch a NCIS marathon?
4. Do you really rather just drink wine in your bed.
5. Have you watched an entire season of a TV show on Netflix?
6. Are socializing and clubbing the least desirable activities you can think of?
7. Are you always home in time to watch SNL on Saturday nights?
8. Do you go home and browse the internet for hours on your laptop?
2) UTalk 自己跟自己說英語，使用英語：
使用英語說英語一遍，我們就可以積累和沉澱以後跟人交談homebody的“微話題”了。
1. 讀到Do you enjoy the warmth and simple pleasures of being at home, and don't want to go out時，自己跟自己說英語：
Well you know if you are a homebody, you will enjoy the warmth and the simple pleasures of being at home.You don't like going out.
2. 讀到Do you order delivery WAY too many times at home時，自己跟自己說英語：
Do you know what a homebody is?

4. 讀到Do you really rather just drink wine in your bed時，
Well an American homebody(Not a Chinese homebody,of course) will drink wine in their bed.Haha, a funny way of being a homebody in the USA.

6. 讀到Are socializing and clubbing the least desirable activities you can think of時，使用英語：

For watching their favorite TV show啊！

你過後再看到homebody，你閉上眼睛，你還能想起、張口就來這些英語“微話題”嗎？

你過後再看到homebody，你閉上眼睛，你還能想起、張口就來這些英語“同義詞”嗎？
